lsakizada Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hi, my friend ask me a question about Autoit and I did not know the answer, Lets say that a compiled script use the function FilInstall() to include encrypted and non encrypted files. Is It possible that third party scanner can be able to search for files that was included inside the compiled script? For example, scanning to find included encrypted files.

Sanfords Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) Your comments are very appreciated:) Sanfords, Not a good first post. You are on Mod preview to see if you continue like this. If you are a bot (as I think you might well be) then we stop you spamming - if you are a human then we stop more stupid posts like this. We win either way!

Moderators Melba23 Posted April 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 2, 2012 lsakizada, As far as I know the files are encrypted and compressed in the compiled exe so they are not readily visible. A determined hacker could probably get them fairly easily, but a simple hex editor will not show them in plaintext.

lsakizada Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) Thanks Melba23 for the reply. Is there any example how easy they can find them? and any idea how to prevent explicitly extraction action (by not using the FileInstall function.)?

Moderators Melba23 Posted April 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 2, 2012 lsakizada,If the hacker is determined enough and has enough skill, nothing you code is safe - regardless of the language, encryption level or anything else. You (or your friend) need to ask yourself if what you are trying to protect is worth the time and effort of the hacker to extract it. If the answer is "Yes" then I would suggest that AutoIt is not the language to use in any event - and certainly not if you FileInstall files as they are extracted at run-time and very easy to get at. If the answer is "No" then I would stop worrying as the FileInstalled files are not easily visible by a curious user.So it is, as always, up to you and how much protection you want your data to have - and that is determined by what it is you are trying to protect.
